Yeah, a 1050Ti won't drive a 27", 144Hz screen very well. But here's a nice 24"...

For a 27" at 144Hz you're looking at something like this...

...assuming you want to be able to drive the monitor at respectable frame rates.



/e Even with a 2070 super, some game will struggle on max. settings, on a 27", 2560x1440, 144Hz+, monitor.
